How the Monitor monitors government and its agencies

The Monitor engages with government and family violence sector stakeholders in order to monitor the effective implementation of the Family Violence Reform.

This is achieved through:

• identifying and sharing better practice
• alerting decision makers to increased risks when they arise

The role includes reporting annually to Parliament and the community on the progress and effectiveness of the reforms. This is in line with the legislative requirements of the Family Violence Reform Implementation Monitor Act 2016.

The Victorian Government nominated the following documents to guide reform activities:

• 10 Year Plan for Change (Ending Family Violence: Victoria’s Plan for Change)
• Recommendation by Recommendation Public Acquittal website
